Dear Jo,
Not sure whether it would fit your requirements, but I’ve used this US website for images (obviously with a US bent) many time - http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/.
All B&W but quality is very good and they are large sizes and very extensive range.
Regards,

Subject: good sources for images
Good Morning All
I am trying to improve our stock of images for discussing child labour (mainly in London), victorian washing/ laundries etc, living conditions/ sanitation etc.
While I'm sure we have plenty of stock images to hand of filtration beds, sewers, water pipes and the like given we act as the reserve archive for Thames Water, i'm having a mental blank of good sources of free (if need be low-cost) images for Victorian life - including engineering workshops and blacksmithing. Images of victorian washing in particular are proving elusive.
I resent the idea of having to pay for the use of an image that someone else has obtained a copy of when it is for educational purposes.
Looking forward to all your suggestions,
Jo Willis
